We offer three l adult art classes at the Blue Ridge Arts Council on Wednesdays at 10:30 or 5:30 and Thursday at 5:30. The classes are 1 1/2 hours and are for beginners to advanced paintings. You can join the class at anytime as they are ongoing and each student works on a painting of their choice. (Read more about classes here.) We do all study the same things, however, which is composition and color mixing. I believe once you learn to mix and see colors you really become a good painter.
Shelly has been painting with me for a couple of years and she has a terrific eye for color and color mixing. Here is an example of two of her latest paintings. We work from photographs and the colorful sunset shows just beautifully colors can be added to a painting. Great job Shelly. And the names on the tree is a gift for her son. What a thoughtful and fun painting. Keep up the excellent work Shelly!
